[Times Online] 16 May 2007--Sensational news from the US. Forth Worth is to seek 'alternative primatial oversight' from an African primate. This is the closest yet to formal schism in the Anglican Communion. Others of the Network dioceses are expected to follow suit. San Joaquin, Rio Grande, Central Florida perhaps? (Some of the Network affiliates want to continue to work it out with TEC.) (Update: Quincy is not going with Fort Worth, see end of post.)
I don't know which African Primate is to be approached, save that it is not necessarily Peter Akinola. Nigeria must be a possibility, depending on how big the finger they wish to give to their present PB , but being Forward in Faith dioceses, they might also be looking in a catholic rather than evangelical direction. Central Africa or Rwanda perhaps?
